The museum is located in a very beautiful palace on the street towards the Atatürk statue. I can't say anything about the interior, but the building is worth a closer look.

The Kurtuluş Savaşı Museum, or the Museum of the Turkish War of Independence, is located in the building of the first Turkish parliament in Ankara. It serves as an important historical monument documenting the heroic struggle of the Turkish people for independence.

History of the building

The building served as the first parliament of the Turkish Republic between 1920 and 1924, a crucial period during the War of Independence. It was here that the political and military decisions leading to the establishment of the modern Turkish state were made. After the parliament moved to a new building, this historic building officially became a museum in 1961.
